Description
I was here last year at the Green Dragon Inn, Hobbiton,on the permanent living movie set of The Lord of The Rings trilogy.This magical place in New Zealand was featured in the movies - and I had a pint of cider inside!"The Green Dragon
An inn at Bywater, the last building on the side of the village nearest to Hobbiton.At the beginning of the Quest of Erebor, Thorin Oakenshield and his company of Dwarves went ahead to the Green Dragon Inn to make preparations and await Bilbo Baggins.Many years later, on the advent of the War of the Ring, the inn was the site of a conversation between Samwise Gamgee and Ted Sandyman about the strange things that had been happening, such as queer folk passing through the Shire and a "Tree-man" seen by Sam's cousin Halfast of Overhill. When Frodo Baggins and the others returned to Bywater from Gondor, they found the inn "lifeless and with broken windows", as it was not maintained under Saruman's men.
In The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, the inn is featured twice, in brief interludes near the beginning and end of the three movies. The Green Dragon is the employer of Rosie Cotton, who works there as a bar maid. This is where Samwise Gamgee approaches her following the Fellowship's return from Gondor. The largest size of ale offered in the Green Dragon is half a pint.
